Washington activated Ismael from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Washington could still be without at least 20 players this weekend due to COVID-19-related matters, but Ismael's reinstatement to the roster at least gives the Football Team a healthy body at center. With Chase Roullier (lower leg) out for the season and Tyler Larsen still on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Ismael should step into a starting role Week 15.

Ismael was signed from the practice squad Thursday, Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ismael was Washington's fifth-round selection in 2020 and made his season debut in their 17-10 loss to the Broncos Sunday. With Chase Roullier (leg) placed on IR earlier this week, Ismael will provide depth to Washington's offensive line moving forward. Washington is in the middle of a bye week and won't play again until Week 10 against Tampa Bay.

The Redskins selected Ismael in the fifth round of the 2020 NFL Draft, 156th overall.
EDGE Analysis
As a three-year starter at San Diego State, Ismael showcased impressive technique and quickness off the line while suiting up at both center and right guard. However, it's worth noting that his frame (6-foot-3, 309 pounds) may lend him better to pass blocking than run blocking.
